From the tribunal's valuation
18 A landlord may issue a notice of rent increase no more frequently than once a year. The Tribunal noted that the landlord had chosen to extend this period to one year and one calendar month. There is nothing in law to prevent this. 19 From the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in LB Lambeth for a Property of this type and location, it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT) terms, for £2300 pcm, fully fitted and in good order. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as comparable properties including landlord’s white goods and carpets in the Property. 20 There were no particular deficiencies at the property that might give rise to any end allowance on this figure. The Tribunal therefore determines the new market rent at £2300 pcm. How the parties then choose to adjust that rent downwards as actually levied, is a matter between themselves.
